No. DBA filings are only required when you are operating a sole proprietorship or partnership under a name other than your personal legal name.

In most states, DBAs, unlike corporations or LLCs, do not guarantee exclusive use of a name. In most cases, the state or county will file any correctly prepared fictitious business name statement, regardless of name conflict.

If the Corporation will be doing business under a name other than it's legal name, a DBA (Doing Business As) must be registered according to current Laws. We can register a DBA for you in conjunction with the incorporation process. We will ensure compliance with all applicable laws, including the proper preparation and filing of all registration documents.

The articles of incorporation or organization are enough for official name registration and business name transactions with financial institutions provided that the entity uses its legal name. A DBA is simply a name statement registered with the state and not an official business formation like a corporation or an LLC.
